Many people prefer to build their own incubators. This is a fun do-it-yourself project. We’ve found that the biggest difficulty people run into while developing their incubators is being able to find a reliable heat source and thermostat. We’ve solved this problem by creating the IncuKit™ series thermostat fan heaters.

We have created the IncuKit™ DC to turn any small container into an incubator. This provides the heat, air circulation and thermostat control you need to accurately control the environment in your container for hatching eggs.

The IncuKit™ DC comes with a proportional thermostat, built-in 40 watt heater, and a built-in fan. The proportional thermostat varies the amount of power that is supplied to the heater instead of simply turning the heater off and on. This provides more accurate temperature control than a standard off/on thermostat. The thermostat also comes preset to 99.5 degrees F which can be easily adjusted if necessary. The fan speed can also be adjusted to provide the right amount of circulation for different size containers. The digital display makes it easy to read the current temperature and to make changes. The IncuKit™ DC operates on low 12 Volt DC power and includes an AC-to-DC converter that works with both 110/120v and 220/240v power input. An optional DC turner motor can easily be added which is controlled by the control module and is fully adjustable. In case of power outages the IncuKit™ DC can also be powered with a 12V battery (additional battery connectors required).

As always, all of our products are covered by our One-year Hassle-free Guarantee. Purchase today with no worries and experience the IncuKit™ DC for yourself.

How to determine the appropriate size container for the IncuKit DC:

There are several factors that determine how much power will be required to heat your container up to the appropriate temperature to hatch eggs. The size of the container, how well it is insulated, the room temperature and how much the room temperature fluctuates will all have a significant impact. The best way to determine if the IncuKit™ DC is the right size for your container is pretty simple. Just put a 40 watt light bulb in your container (ensure it is thermally insulated since they get pretty hot!) and measure how warm your container gets. If it easily gets to at least 100 degrees F, then the IncuKit™ DC should work. It is the user’s responsibility to determine if this will generate enough heat for your container.

This motor is a 5 RPM 12V DC motor for the IncuKit DC. Use this motor to make your own egg turner. The IncuKit DC allows you to set an interval so the motor will turn on for a few seconds every few hours (Customize to your own turning needs)

1 x Battery clip connector for IncuKit™ MINI & IncuView+
$12.00

See Short Description

Run your incubator from a 12V Battery

This listing is for brand new battery connector set for the Genesis 1588 and the IncuKit DC.

NOTE: Please select the type of connector you need from the drop-down menu

The alligator style clips will easily connect to the positive and negative terminals on your 12VDC battery

The barrel connector ends plugs into the power wire of the Genesis 1588 or the power port of the IncuKit DC

This is great for a back-up power supply for those who may have frequent power outages

A 12VDC battery can be your primary power source for those who are off the grid

Would you like to see how this is used with the Genesis 1588 and IncuKit DC? See this short video:

There is not a predetermined size that the IncuKit will work for. This is because each incubator is built different and it is impossible to know which IncuKit will work for each design. There are several factors that will affect which IncuKit you will...

How do I determine what wattage of heating element I will need for my incubator?

One of the simplest ways to determine what size of heating element you need in an incubator is what we call the light bulb test. To perform this test, you simply place a light bulb(s) in the incubator with the approximate wattage that you think will ...

Does the fan blow downward (away from the heater) in the provided configuration? If so, can it easily be switch to blow upward (into the heater) to provide less direct air blowing onto occupants of the incubator chamber? For instance, can the wires to the fan be reversed to switch direction of the fan?Also, can the fan speed be significantly slowed or is there a point where the fan will no longer turn below a certain point?

The way the IncuKit Mini is set up the fan blows up, over the heating elements on the control module, there is no need to reverse it. There are a few settings changes that can be made in the control options but fan speed is not one of them.
